Keith Neds

Music Pastor, Elder
E-mail Keith Neds

Mr and Mrs Neds_finalKeith was born and raised in central Ohio. His parents accepted Christ after they were married and began attending a Bible Church. Keith made a profession of faith in Christ at six years of age through the ministry of that church and his mother. He graduated from Bob Jones University with a music education major and a math minor. God clearly got Keith’s attention around the time of his graduation as the “security” in his own abilities and relationships came crashing down. God used Hebrews 11:6 to show Keith how he had not pleased God, and by God’s grace alone, Keith repented and followed Christ. He subsequently met his sweet wife, Joy, on a mission trip to Utah; then worked for nineteen years for the Huntington National Bank in Columbus, Ohio while he served at Berean Bible Church in the areas of music and leadership.

Seeing our society push God and His Word further and further away, Keith began sensing the need to spend more time giving out the “Good News” of Jesus Christ. A part-time assistant pastor position opened up at Rockwall Bible Church in Rockwall, Texas, and after much fervent prayer, Keith and Joy moved there in 2004. Keith serves in the areas of music, outreach, and education. He uses art with “Chalk-Talks” and calligraphy to spread God’s Word. He works at Hobby Lobby and other part-time jobs to meet the needs of his family. The Lord has richly blessed Keith and Joy with thirteen children: Benjamin (married to Hailey), Rebekah (married to Pablo), Hannah (married to Jonathan), Lydia (married to Samuel), Seth (married to Sarah), Esther, Rachel (married to Hugo), Julia, Daniel, Faith, David, Joshua, and Karis. Keith loves spending time with his wife and children. He is also involved in helping keep God’s Word before people’s eyes through the ministry of “Calligraphy for Christ”. Other Scriptures the Lord has used to impact Keith are II Corinthians 9:8, Joshua 1:8,9, John 12:24,25, Philippians 1:6, and Psalm 16:11.

Kerry and his family began attending Rockwall Bible Church in 2011. He and Lydia became members in 2016, and are the parents of nine children.
